Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 4:48 pm Nice example. Only real "distracting" hit, right of Lady Liberty's head. I'm at MS64. I'm also a fan of the die crack Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 9:09 pm MS-63 or 4. Love the residual luster on a 150 year old silver coin. die break on a scarce type adds to value. Would be difficult to give an accurate value, due to the combination of scarce factors that apply to this coin. Although I am not normally a fan of slabs, this coin is better off, as a slabbed item. Value can only be found at public auction, which if it were mine, I would not do. Such a coin would go into my estate, to be sold my my kids, if they so choose to do. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 11:11 am my favorite year for silver with the reverse rays the only issue I can see is the surface mark on the obv behind the head. cant tell what looks like a scratch above the eagle. if it was a scratch it would be across the rays and if it was a die break it would also. the only thing I think of is that it was on the planchet prior to striking. anyone else have any insight on that? MS65 Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 11:38 am Panzaldi: I believe the mark above the eagle is a die event. I'm not sure that it's a die crack, but some other sort of Die Deterioration. It appears to run behind the devices. I looked at a couple trueviews and saw a similar artifact on several of them. Not this exact one though: https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/4...886_2200.jpg https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/3...183_2200.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 3:57 pm If that mark to the right of Liberty's head is die-related, I'll say the coin grades MS-66. Report this Post to the Staff
